It's hot - what's for tea tonight?

I've got a pizza. Just made up some coucous which will do a couple of nights and will add salad.

My colleague is going around to someone's house tonight for tea and they're cooking a roast - no way could I stand being in the kitchen for an hour or two regularly checking meat and potatoes, as well as the hot plates on.

I've got some salmon out of the freezer. Will serve with some sort of salad. I'll probably cook it in the oven but I shall stay in the garden whilst it is cooking if I can tolerate the constant whining from the kids at the back and their mother's constant yelling

Quick fish gumbo with microwave rice. The oven is not going on this week !

We’ve got some sea bass that needs using today, I’ll probably roast some potatoes in garlic and lemon to go with the fish. And think there’s some spinach and broccoli in the fridge for some greenery! And Mars ice creams for dessert 😁

Stir Fry :-) super quick and filling! I did only add this however so I could find this thread again when it comes to meal planning for next week haha

Dd has requested Tuna pasta.
Fortunately she doesn't like it baked so it's just tipping freshly cooked pasta into a pan with (canned) tuna, olives, soft cheese & herbs & warming through. Salad.
I can cope with that. Just...

Roast chicken, salad and rice... so a sort of summer roast chicken dinner

Startuplife · 11/07/2022 16:34

Pinch of Nom Turkey fajita orzotto which will also serve as lunch for tomorrow with minimal washing up.
I may have consumed rather a lot of rosé and crisps yesterday in the sun and my next holiday is only 2.5 weeks away so it’s back to calorie counting today.

Massive lasagne. It's too hot in the kitchen.

Pleiades2020 · 11/07/2022 16:42

Baked potatoes with cheese and broccoli. Can sit in the garden and wait for them to cook and should be enough for tomorrow too.

Sandwiches or Greek Salads for lunch.

I'm going out for a meal with rock choir and remembered I ordered pie 🤦🏻‍♀️. Chicken and ham though so not too bad

Eek3under3 · 11/07/2022 16:44

I would like to say ice cream. 35 weeks pregnant and MELTING. But gestational diabetes has other ideas so probably something boring like chicken goujons and veg!

cliffdiver · 11/07/2022 16:46

Fajitas and tacos.

Teriyaki rice bowl - the actual cooking bit takes less than ten minutes in the wok. I’m just ordering this weeks food delivery and am adding loads of things which won’t require cooking. We’ve also got covid so trying to balance off what we can taste and we fancy with the amount of heat and effort needed to make a meal.

@LaFeuilleMorte Teriyaki rice bowl in 10 mins sounds great - do you have a recipe? Only if you’re feeling up to it!

Bagpuss2022 · 11/07/2022 16:49

Chilli jacket salad and garlic bread, chilli in slow cooker all day and cheating jackets those McCain ones

ChickenSandwichandCupofTea · 11/07/2022 16:49

Peppered chicken with mash! I know it sounds hot, but I’m in a part of the UK that doesn’t have quite as intense a heatwave, still hotter than usual though…

LondonWolf · 11/07/2022 16:51

Crab mayonnaise and avocado sandwiches with salad.

goldfinchonthelawn · 11/07/2022 16:51

Roast veg with herby couscous and guacamole. But the thought of turning the oven on makes me want to lie in a cold bath.

Leftovers including Joints of rabbit, roast veg, peppers, courgette, mushroom jacket potato, mange tout stuffed vine leaves.
Clearing up all sorts of odds & ends.
Rabbit is dense meat!!!
